Well-Being

The Academy of Distinguished Teachers has chosen Well-being as the focus for activities in 2021-2022.  In addition to bringing in speakers each week to discuss aspects of well-being for the campus community, a task force has been formed to lead Academy efforts on this subject.

Guiding Task Force Premises

1. Students’ experiences on our campus should contribute to their developing and practicing habits that contribute to emotional and physical health while at UT and in their lives beyond school.
2. Mental and physical health and well-being are essential in order to learn effectively.

Task Force Goals

1. Add Well-being to the University’s Core Values
2.  Identify aspects of learning experiences on our campus that contribute unnecessarily to stress and diminish well-being, and identify opportunities to refashion learning experiences in ways that promote health and well-being.
